Has anyone got WLS through Wellcare? If so can you share some details. I know I'll qualify, as my BMI is above 70 and Im under 40yo. What surgeon/hospital did you or going to use? I appreciate any insight.

I don't have WellCare but I do live in Kentucky. I have anthem BCBS/Medicaid. I shouldn't have any problems getting approved. At least that's what my surgeons office is saying. And my BMI is 40.

I don't know anything about WellCare but, I was sleeved April 20 by Dr. Weiss at Georgetown. His office has an insurance coordinator who can help you determine your insurance requirements or you can give WellCare a call and ask them.

@@Inner Surfer Girl. That's my surgeon too. We must live near each other. Actually I live behind the hospital just a couple blocks away.

I live in Danville but Dr. Weiss was who my Dr. In Danville recommended. I was so lucky. He is a great surgeon and I couldn't be happier with my surgery and recovery.

I love his attitude and learned so much from him and his staff and the Georgetown hospital staff were great.
